The Trump White House is calling out Joe Biden’s team for not being honest about the former president’s health while he was still in office.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Friday that Biden’s health was covered up by his administration — and by many in the media.

Press Sec. Leavitt: "I can tell you there was certainly a lack of transparency from the former president, from the entire former administration, and frankly, a lot of people in this room when it came to the health and the competence of Joe Biden."pic.twitter.com/5kWIldqvl6

“I can tell you there was certainly a lack of transparency from the former president, from the entire former administration,” Leavitt told reporters on Friday. “And frankly, a lot of people in this room, when it came to the health in the competence of the former President of the United States, Joe Biden — there was one of the greatest cover-ups and, frankly, political scandals this nation has ever seen. It’s been unraveled in some recent books that are being written by journalists who engaged in that cover-up in scandal, which is quite ironic.”

Recently released books have added fuel to the fire, outlining concerns about Biden’s physical and mental state while in the White House. One of them, “Uncharted: How Trump Beat Biden, Harris, and the Odds in the Wildest Campaign in History,” by former “60 Minutes” producer Chris Whipple, claims Biden was intentionally kept away from people he’d worked with in the past — and that this move contributed to his decline.

Leavitt’s comments came as current President Donald Trump was at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for his annual physical. The White House said a summary of the exam will be made public.

“But this president is clearly committed to transparency,” Leavitt said. “You in this room see him and hear from him on a daily basis. You in this room know from covering him. It’s hard to keep up with him. He is a machine working around the clock every single day. And the physician, after today’s physical, will provide an update on the report in the effort of transparency.”
